class rojak.turbulence.diagnostic.MagnitudePotentialVorticity(potential_vorticity)[source]#

Magnitude potential vorticity CAT diagnostic

The magnitude of potential vorticity, \(|\text{PV}|\), was used by [Knox2001] to show that unbalanced regions, indicated by low potential vorticity, were a source of CAT.

Parameters:

potential_vorticity (DataArray) – potential vorticity

__init__(potential_vorticity)[source]#
Parameters:

  • name – Name of the diagnostic

  • potential_vorticity (DataArray)

Return type:

None

Methods

__init__(potential_vorticity)

to_zarr(output_base_dir, *[, file_name])

Export computed_value to a zarr store

Attributes

computed_value

The diagnostic's computed value

name

Name of the diagnostic
